| | Sphenoid bone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Medial to this is a triangular, serrated surface, for articulation with the frontal bone; this surface is continuous medially with the sharp edge, which forms the lower boundary of the superior orbital fissure, and laterally with the serrated margin for articulation with the zygomatic bone. | | | Each bone articulates in front with the ethmoid, laterally with the palatine; its pointed posterior extremity is placed above the vomer, and is received between the root of the pterygoid process laterally and the rostrum of the sphenoid medially. | | | By the twenty-fifth year the sphenoid and occipital are completely fused. |

| | Zygomatic bone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The frontosphenoidal process is thick and serrated, and articulates with the zygomatic process of the frontal bone. | | | The maxillary process presents a rough, triangular surface which articulates with the maxilla. | | | Its superior margin, rough, and directed horizontally, articulates with the frontal bone behind the zygomatic process. |

| | The basilar part and foramen magnum represent the body and vertebral foramen, respectively; the squamous part, with its external occipital protuberance and crest, perhaps represents the laminae and spinous process; and the condyles and jugular processes are in series with the articular and transverse processes, respectively. | | | Laterally, its base is fused with the rest of the temporal bone. | | | Laterally, the superior margin ends in the zygomatic process of the frontal bone, which is readily palpable in vivo. |
